Crochet Charity Drive – Chilly Cables Mittens

15 designers came together to bring you 15 brand new mitten patterns for a great cause! Let me tell you more about our vision:

I was on my way home one day and I was lost in thought about how much my life has changed in just the last 5 years, let alone from my young adult life. I was thinking about all of the stumbling I’ve done and how many times I have had to ask for help. Asking for help isn’t always easy…actually, it can be embarrassing! My grandmother is someone who has always been there for me and one thing she always says is “If you have it to give, you should!” She believes that if you have extra, then you should give to someone that has none. Her kind heart and generosity has inspired me to start this mitten drive. I’m not rich, but I am blessed with a wonderful family and lots of love. I have a roof over my head and food on my table. This is much much more than some. And I want to do something for those less fortunate then us.

Last winter I read an article in my local paper about a group of homeless people living down by the river, some in tents, some not. I live in Maine….we have below zero temps for a lot of the winter. That article broke my heart!

Last year I also overheard a couple of teachers at my child’s school talking about how a few kids didn’t even have winter coats, let alone gloves. That also broke my heart!

These two stories ran together and I thought “Wow, we can all do so much with just one small gesture. We could change lives with just one pair of mittens!”

Turns out, a lot of other designers feel the same way I do!

So let’s do it folks! Let’s make those mittens and give them to someone in need!

I am thrilled to present to you the first mitten design in this Mitten Drive blog hop. After the pattern will be a list of all the other bloggers and when you can get their pattern!
